I need to heat a 15x20 room (300 sq. ft.). Will this heater do the job, without having to run it constantly, or should I look for something larger?

I have a huge large master bedroom with a high ceiling. I use this heater at night with the door closed. I set it at 70% on the low setting. It does a great job of maintaining the heat at 70%. I know because we have a thermometer in the room that we check it against. It comes on and off during the night but we can't hear it. I have bought other heaters that could not do what this one does and were noisy. I have 3 of these in my home and I highly recommend this heater.

The heater works great in the master bathroom however probably need a larger one for your size room

This heater is exceptional and will make a good dent in the room but I think something larger might be in order. We have two and they do great in a 14 X 30 room. Good product. Simple to use. Has some ceramic pieces I think that heat up and reduce electric use.

I would look for something larger. That is about the size of the room I use it in and it really just warms the space around the heater - where I sit.

I love this heater. My son has one and I always used it when I go to his house. My room is 12 x 12 but I just turn is on 70 and heat the bedroom before I go to bed. When I get in bed I turn it down to 65. It comes on if it gets below that. If you want the room to stay really warm all the time it will run all the time. I am in Calif and we have been having a very mild winter.

I use it to heat and cool a 14' by 17' den and it does the job. I don't think you need to worry about it being too much. A lot will depend on how cold/hot the room is in comparison to where the thermostat is located, and also the temperature of the heated or cooled air. I have a heat pump so the air is never real hot and it works out fine. A gas furnace might warm up a little faster but you also have a lot more area to heat.

Well depending on what floor you have. I have it in my dinning room that is 14x14 sq foot and its amazing what this thing does. On carpet I don't think its that efficient but still does a great job i highly recommend this heater. Remember placing the heater in the right place is the key. I love it. Rating it 5 stars

I'd say that is probably pushing it on size. However, using two of these heaters there might work. You might want to try an infrared heater instead. It heats the air pretty effectively and I use one in my 12x15 bedroom as the only heat source here in the mountains.

For a space of 60 sq ft....I doubt it'll have an immediate warmth impact....You may feel warmth after a few hours of use...If your looking for a high output portable heater...Allow me to suggest "The Big Heater Buddy" ...It'll put out btween 4000-9000 Btu's... Check Cabelas website...The deal with refurbished units....Good Luck.

It only heats a very small space like a 150 sq ft room. I would not use it for sole source heat. We use ours to supplement a natural gas furnace and move it around to areas we are in during the day. It has a built in thermostat which turns the unit off and on. I would not recommend having it running if you are not present.

20x20 is what I have been using it for and it can get two hot. I think it would heat a large bedroom effectively. It's a great heater. The best space heater I have bought. It's quiet and the side separates so you can aim the heat in different areas.

Elaine - my unit heats our family room that is about 25' by 18'. It heat my much smaller office in minutes and it's 15' by 12'. It works especially well when occillating. Hope this helps.

We have this heater installed in an open area of our home that is 2 levels (a drop of 2 steps to the lower level) and approx 30 x 40 with an open beamed ceiling. An open hall leads off upper area and there are open doors to other rooms. It takes the chill off the entire 1500 sq foot house, is not very effective in the back 3 rooms of the house, but keeps the upper area where it is installed (30 x 20) very comfortable. I definitely would go bigger if you want it to heat your entire house, but it's great for smaller areas. It is economic to run. We are very happy with it.

Yes, I have this heater in my living room and kitchen, which are about that size. The two rooms are divided by a wall with a window and door way in it. One heater does a good job of heating both rooms, we rarely turn both on

This heater is not suitable for a 16x16 room. It is intended for a small room, such as an 8x8 bathroom. For a 16x16 room, you need the 1500 watt model.

The heat is lukewarm but it really does work for smaller rooms, 15 x 15 would be the biggest it could warm but these heaters don't last. They die pretty fast for a lot of money.

That''s a tough one. I use it to take the chill off my kitchen in the morning. It puts out pretty good heat. My kitchen is about 15'x15', with 10' ceiling. Every situation is different. I have a propane heater in my house, not forced air, so I just use it to supplement when and where needed. I live in a 100+ year old adobe, so my place is not typical.

I'll say my tiny bathroom (6x6) still takes about 15 or more to get even some fealing of heat. Im acually looking for a better heater now..

I use it to heat a room of about 15' x 20' in size. It does just fine, when it is real cold outside (10 degrees or 22 degrees below freezing) it takes a while to reheat it up after a weekend or not using it a few days.

I think you will be surprised at how well this heater will work in that space. I use it in a room that is 15x20 and we have it on the lowest setting most of the time and stay at 68 degrees easily. It's a fabulous heater.

I used this heater in a living room of 400 sqft. There are 3 heaters total in that area. Works great!
